"A MEASURE OF HUMILITY"
In every case, pain had been the price of admission into a
new life. But this admission price had purchased more than
we expected It brought a measure of humility, which we
soon discovered to be a healer of pain.
TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 75
It was painful to give up trying to control my life, even
though success eluded me, and when life got too rough, I
drank to escape. Accepting life on life's terms will be
mastered through the humility I experience when I turn my
will and my life over to the care of God, as I understand
Him. With my life in God's care, fear, uncertainty, and
anger are no longer my response to those portions of life
that I would rather not have happen to me. The pain of
living through these times will be healed by the knowledge
that I have received the spiritual strength to survive.
